Hehe, i've been looking for a torque arm for my puma, seems to be 9.3mm rather than 10mm! That there thing looks way too kinky for me though Doc. If it ever breaks free it will make a real mess of your tadgers

What's a tadger ? ( canoodian here . :lol: . )

I've used many things for torque arms on different setups, best yet was a piece of mirrored Stainless Steel heavy gauge plate.. bent in 2 layers, cut with a dremel cut-off wheel thing ( took about 10 disks to get it done ) and then drilled to bolt onto the 2 holes at the end of a 700C fork...

Salad spoons have also been used.. wrenches.. big black J thing from crystalyte.. etc... the SS plate was the best i've found yet.. will post a picture later if anyone is interested.

"Tadgers" is a quaint old workingclass word for testicles. Often used when describing painfull accidents, especially ones envolving kitchen impliments

Here is one side.

This is a 4011 in a 700C AlexX 202 single walled rim.

The 12 gauge spokes would not fit the holes in the rim, i had to drill them out using a titanium drill bit, then laced it 2 cross( is that the right term ? ) .. I alternated the spoke heads In/Out and over/under themselves..

The torque arm on this side bolts to the dropouts below the fork leg.. ( Stainless steel, primed and painted black )

This is the other side with the Crystalyte J arm, works perfectly on this 700C fork, i had it on a peugeot MTB with an X5 and it sucked, angle was all wrong.

Had to cut and gind, then drill the loop for the fork leg, it's way too long stock , like it would fit on an RST suspension fork or something..
